Chapter 2 - Installation
General Installation
This chapter is designed to serve as a
general guide for the installation of a Stellar
7628 Telescopic Crane on a Stellar Service
Body. Each installation is considered unique
so certain portions of this chapter may or
may not apply to your direct application. If
a question should arise during the installation
process, please contact Stellar Customer
Service at (800) 321 3741.
This crane is designed for use with a Stellar
Service Body installed on a vehicle that
meets the minimum chassis requirements of
the crane. It is the installer’s responsibility to
assure that the crane is mounted on a
platform that will support the maximum
crane rating of this crane.
Notice:
PTO and Pump installation instructions are
provided by the corresponding
manufacturers. For more information on
which PTO and Pump fit your application,
please contact your local Stellar Distributor
or Stellar Customer Service.
Installation Notice
According to Federal Law (49 cfr part 571),
each final-stage manufacturer shall
complete the vehicle in such a manner that
it conforms to the standards in effect on the
date of manufacture of the incomplete
vehicle, the date of final completion, or a
date between those two dates. This
requirement shall, however, be superseded
by any conflicting provisions of a standard
that applies by its terms to vehicles
manufactured in two or more stages.
Therefore, the installer of Stellar cranes and
bodies is considered one of the
manufacturers of the vehicle. As such a
manufacturer, the installer is responsible for
compliance with all applicable federal and
state regulations. They are required to
certify that the vehicle is in compliance with
the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
and other regulations issued under the
National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety
Act.
Please reference the Code of Federal
Regulations, title 49 - Transportation, Volume
5 (400-999), for further information, or visit

Regulations.
Notice: Read this Page Before Installation of the Crane
Important: When installing welder units to the service
bodies, it is highly recommended that a surge
protector is installed on the chassis batteries to protect
the crane radio receiver, wiring and other electronic
devices from an unexpected electrical spike or surge.
Failure to do so could result in extensive damage to
the service body and crane electrical circuit.
